Victorinox one handed sentienal

[ChrisFarms]

I did find the reverse lock a nuisance, but not a deal breaker.

Victorinox knives have a reputation, well founded after decades of user reports, of the classic solid user. You can't go wrong.

I find the edge does not hold as well as a super steel (at a much, much higher price), and is incredibly easy to sharpen.

If you want to move a step up, I highly recommend the Buck Vantage. Great feel in the hand, and very sharp.

the only super steel i ever used was vg10 and i only had that on an endura and had to sell it shortly after i got it so i never really experienced any super steels

I was looking at getting one of them and i was wondering a few things about it.
What is the actual blade length?
What type of steel does victorinox use and is it hard to sharpen and how well does it hold an edge?
Is it good for being a user?

I thought Vics use 1.4116 DIN which is pretty common in Europe. But I could be wrong. Maybe some Secret Order member will see this and chime in.

The blade steel composition is posted here. Checkout also Victorinox vs Wenger thread (started by UnknownVT), I posted my experience with it there.

It's more towards toughness than edge holding, but touchin up very easily done!

I would advise that you try one out in person because it may not open so well with one hand.
I dont have the One Hand Sentienal, I have the One Hand Trecker (plain edge so its not chisel ground) and it opens with hand, but super slow. its not like opening a spyder/benchmade
